New DD!
 

Alright guys and gals its that time for me to get a new DD!

I want to spend no over 15K!

Just need a car that has a lil pep to it and good on gas.

I have been considering:

VW GTI turbo
Mazda CX-7 turbo
Mini S
Cobalt SS
and open to other suggestion no TT or miata's need some space for passengers and cargo.

CX-7 the SUV? Kind of an odd vehicle for a line up consisting of compacts sedans.

I assume you mean Cobalt SS/SC or the NA ones.
Out of that list, Id say Mini.
If you want good handling, but not so much power, look at the Saturn Astra.

I'd stay away from the GTI, anyone I know with a VW has more problems with it than they can count :lol:

That's what I was thinking but can you swing an Astra for 15k?

edit:: Yes, you can.. http://www.autotrader.com/fyc/search...=1232229152046
I'd do it.

j0n did!!

The 5dr XE is in there, the 3dr sits higher.

i'd personally stay away from germans. they tend to be expensive to repair.

Astra come in manual? I would prefer stick over auto. and the SS turbo would be cool or SC

cobalt ss! help keep gm alive haha

Astra is standard with 5spd manual

Cobalt SS turbo are only the new ones, and are in teh 20-22k range. Deffinatly a powerful car, and probably best in its class performance wise. Interior materials are so so for the segment.

Ya alil more than Im looking to spend with my budget... if theres any other sugestions let me know

How is the Astra out of your range? it's less than you said :lol:

but they make good stuff

oh yeah they are sweet cars. great creature comforts in the interiors with nice features here and there. its just they tend to be costly to repair and they don't have wheel studs :-x

coby SS!

Found a possible new DD going to gl test drive it this week!

Personally I believe this car to be better looking than the cobalt SS and yet is still a Supercharged GM product, and interior is better too

Inteiror materials are equal, Ion's center mounted guages are odd, but no doubt the Ion RL is overlooked so much.

Test Driving it tomorrow! Idk why I am so excited about a new DD lol

Cool, I never realized they made an SC Ion

Its the forgotten bastard child lol

you could say Saturn is the bastard child of GM :lol:

But its like the good bastard child that is under estimated and pulls through FTW!

Yeah, they were, then they werent, and then they realized that they could do more, and they ran out of money, and now Saturn is back up in the air.

i know a guy with a wrangler for cheap with warranty!

fixed :)

hey if you want to jump off your list my friend has an 04 or 5 hyundai tiburon gt v6 5 speed 2.9 with ark exhaust and injen intake and shortthrow shifter. hes looking to get when he owes on it from what i recall is 10k. its got around 36k miles on it with the factory 10 year 100k mile warrenty
